Eiffel Tower Evacuated Again

Paris sure is jittery these days: Already on
high alert over the threat of a terrorist attack, the city evacuated the Eiffel Tower on Tuesday for the second time this month, following a bomb threat. The threat, however, turned out to be another
false alarm, and tourists were allowed to re-enter after the brief evacuation. On Monday, a train station was also evacuated because of a bomb threat that turned out to be a false alarm.
